Had to share the hysterical happening that occurred last night in our house. Many of you know ( or should know if you've read my YA novel HEAVENLY ) that my daughter "Abria" and her autistic antics are shared in that series.

Abria continues to bring us challenges and laughs--she's just so sweet. She loves unconditionally. We're amazed, shocked and pleased when she does something really smart -- like she did last night!

She ADORES bacon. I keep it in the freezer. So, she takes her empty sorbet container, cleaned and washed out, and she HIDES bacon in it and stashes it in her bedroom for later!!

Unfortunately, bacon, filled with nitrates, makes her angry--so we don't let her eat it. But, like most of us who want things we can't have, Abria never lets that stop her.

Part of me wants to be proud of her thinking outside the box!! Right??

Thanks for participating. Autism is close to my heart, because I have a daughter with autism. I'm offering 4 copies of Heavenly, my YA novel about a girl who falls in love with her autistic sister's guardian angel. Heavenly is based on my family and our struggle learning to accept our child for who she is.

I'm throwing in a pair of Heavenly wings, a teeshirt and Autism awareness bracelets for the winners. ( randomly added to the book prize.)

Please enter by joining me -- links on sidebar -- on the places you choose: Goodreads. Facebook. Twitter. I'm happy to make new friends and readers!

I write YA books. Whatever my heart desires, I write. I don't have someone over my shoulder, in some office somewhere telling me what I can and cannot write. Or should and shouldn't write. I listen to my heart, the center of my muse, and trust my instincts.
